Colors of Beauty

     As you look around a typical high school, you probably would notice people with all colors of hair. People who dye their hair are similar but different to a chameleon. These people have various reasons for dying their hair.
     Hayly Clark, who has red tips, said the only reason she dyed her hair a different color was to "stand out." She said the color made her feel rebellious and a little different. Hayly said the experience of coloring her hair was alright, but the smell was strong. The next color she wants to try is a blue-green color.
     Adelia Fernau, who had red hair when she started high school said, "I colored my hair so that it would stand out." Adelia said the experience of coloring her hair was exciting because she thought she looked cool. Her next color is going to be a velvet, purple, plum color.
     Karalynn Sierra has her hair colored black. She said she colored her hair because she wanted to try something new. Karalynn said the experience of coloring her hair was very time consuming. It took a long time because of the length of her hair, which is below her waist. She doesn't know if she will do it again.
     Lucy Biernacki's hair is a pale pink, but it was supposed to be a hot pink. She said she colored her hair because it made her feel good. Lucy said the dye that was used on her hair smelled good as it was scented. Her next color will be orange as soon as her hair grows out.
     Mrs. Berry, the high school secretary and registrar,  who has brown hair with blonde highlights said she has been dying her hair since she was 18 years old. She thinks her original color, which is dark brown is too boring. Mrs. Berry said she likes getting her hair dyed because it is relaxing and she feels refreshed when it is done. Her next color will be a darker, red-brown with blonde.
     Mrs. Girard who has brown hair with blonde streaks said she colors her hair because she likes to try something new, and it changes her look; it is a boost of confidence. Mrs. Girard says she loves getting her hair dyed. Being a full time teacher and mother, she doesn't have much time for herself. It is something she can do for herself, plus she has a refreshed feeling afterwards.
     The only similarity between chameleons and people who dye their hair is, they both can change colors, although chameleons change their color to blend IN, but some people dye their hair to stand OUT in their environment.
